The new V-Class V300d: new engine, new transmission
- The four-cylinder OM 654 diesel with 176 kW and 500 Nm of torque sets the benchmark in the MPV segment. In the acceleration phase, the V300d can deliver an additional 30 Nm of torque for a short time ("overtorque").
- Available for the first time with V-Class, the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission improves shift comfort and fuel efficiency.
- The driver can use the DYNAMIC SELECT switch to select the drive programs "Comfort" and "Sport" and thus influence the gearshifting characteristics.
- Alternatively, "Manual" mode allows the driver to shift manually using the DIRECT SELECT steering wheel paddles.
